2011 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FN11 KTA

The 2011 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 81,002 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 8 May 2025 at 71,556 miles also showed a clean sheet. A failed entry on 8 May 2025 at the same mileage sits oddly against the same-day pass with no defects logged; this suggests an administrative or process anomaly at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five recorded tests from January 2023 to February 2026, the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 81,002 against a 15-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,400 miles per year. The January 2023 test logged 60,263 miles, rising to 66,332 by January 2024 and 71,556 by May 2025, then 81,002 by February 2026. The annual accumulation stays consistent at around 5,000 to 9,500 miles, with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. Low overall mileage for the age implies lighter use, though prolonged standing between short trips can age rubber components and flat-spot tyres without showing in the MOT. The absence of recorded advisories across the full history means no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion was flagged by testers. A buyer should still confirm in person that the structural integrity underneath matches the clean record, as MOT passes on low-mileage cars can miss surface rust on sills and subframes if not yet at test threshold. Check the exhaust emissions system and brake calipers for binding given the car's likely short-run usage pattern. Given the clean DVSA trail and low annual mileage, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. The May 2025 duplicate fail-pass with zero defects remains the only irregularity and warrants a glance at the physical test certificate to rule out clerical error before purchase.
